Microsoft Lumia 950 XL: More Reason To Get One Now

Despite having reviewed many a phone in my time, the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL is my first Windows phone. I have no expectations as to what Windows 10 Mobile can offer one way or another, having had all of ten minutes playtime with Microsoft's mobile OS in the past. I do, on the other hand, have extensive experience with iOS and Android.

When Jon Bray, our Reviews Editor, took a look at the Lumia 950, he gave it two separate verdicts: incredibly positive for Windows Phone fans, and lukewarm for those who either haven't been impressed with the OS before, or are yet to sample its charms. As a member of the latter camp, what would my verdict be?

So, come on Windows 10 Mobile: dazzle me.

Nevertheless, the company seems determined that free upgrades for the world's most widely used operating system will not become a regular occurrence. All you have to do is open the song you want to create the ringtone from, choose the start and the end of the ringtone, cut it, and you are good to go. Those updates can be had by getting "the latest security update" for IE, per the article. Microsoft's renewed focus on the desktop meant OneDrive integrated there instead of inside the slightly separate Windows Store ecosystem. It was made even easier when Microsoft changed things so that users could activate Windows 10 with a Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 key, as opposed to first having to upgrade to Windows 10 and then performing a clean install.

A single update will be released each month that contains all non-security updates of that month.

This rollup package includes nearly all the updates that were released after the rele ase of SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, through April 2016. However, going by the latest news about Windows 10 Mobile, Engadget states that support for fingerprint scanning could be arriving soon.

There are also some rumors that suggest Microsoft may consider offering Windows 10 as a service, where the OS would be free for anyone to download and install, while the company would generate revenue from advertising. After this is installed, users will only need to install future updates. Of course, that also requires you to use the rollup for Windows 7 SP1 as well. And in addition they also added many new features. Microsoft said that the device is just taking a long time to apply the update, and urged patience.

Update Policy Changes Microsoft reiterated in its announcement today that it is now publishing its archive of security updates in the Microsoft Update Catalog. When Edge, Internet Explorer's successor, shipped alongside Windows 10 last summer, add-on support was conspicuously lacking. Customers that use tools linking to the Microsoft Download Center should follow the links provided in the Security Bulletins or search directly on the Microsoft Update Catalo g.
